“…While in its native range A. planipennis is a secondary species infesting mainly stressed or dying ashes, and only rarely becoming a harmful pest (Wang et al., 2010; Herms and McCullough, 2014), in North America, it is now threatening to cause ash tree extinction from large areas and is considered to be the most destructive forest insect in the history of the US, where it is currently present in 35 states (USDA‐APHIS, 2020; Poland et al., 2021). All 16 North American ash species are more or less susceptible to A. planipennis colonisation, but Fraxinus americana (white ash), F. pennsylvanica (green ash) and F. nigra (black ash) are the most vulnerable ones, all widespread and of considerable economic and ecological importance for North American deciduous forests and urban areas where ashes have been intensively planted in the past (Klooster et al., 2013; Poland et al., 2021).…”

The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a dossier by USDA proposing to use sulfuryl fluoride on ash log shipments to treat Agrilus planipennis for phytosanitary certification. After collecting additional evidence from USDA APHIS, external experts and literature, the Panel performed a quantitative assessment on the likelihood of pest freedom from A. planipennis, at the point of entry in the EU, of two different commodities fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride: (a) ash logs with bark; and (b) debarked ash logs. An expert judgement is given on the likelihood of pest freedom taking into consideration the measures acting on the pest, including uncertainties associated with the assessment. The likelihood of pest freedom from A. planipennis is lower for ash logs with bark compared with debarked ash logs. With 95% certainty, the Panel concludes that between 9,740 and 10,000 containers of ash logs with bark per 10,000 and between 9,989 and 10,000 containers of debarked ash logs per 10,000 will be free from A. planipennis, when fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride at the specific treatment regime proposed by the USDA APHIS.

“…They often become established in areas that have been altered and tend to spread in areas that lack grazing and fire (Cosby, 1975;Porensky et al, 2017Porensky et al, , 2020. Herbaceous invasives can impact habitat structure and function by displacing native grass and forb species, reducing the availability of forage required by native animals, and impacting biotic and abiotic processes belowground (Poland et al, 2021). Grassland managers across the North Central region need to understand how climate change impacts herbaceous invasives and their management.…”

Successful conservation of ecosystems in a changing climate requires actionable research that directly supports the rethinking and revising of management approaches to address changing risks and opportunities. As an important first step toward actionable research, we reviewed and synthesized grassland management‐related documents to identify broadly shared questions that, if answered, would help to support collective conservation of the grasslands in the northern Great Plains of the United States in a changing climate. A Management Priorities Working Group reviewed 183 grassland‐relevant management documents and identified 70 questions. Feedback was iteratively provided by a Climate and Ecology Working Group, an Advisory Committee, and representatives from grassland management agencies and organizations. The identified questions generally fall under 15 topics: land conversion; restoration; disturbance regimes; woody encroachment; herbaceous invasives; grazing; water quality, quantity, and availability; animal species; private land; public understanding; legal and policy changes; economic incentives; coordination across management entities; accessibility of science and tools; and novel ways of thinking. These questions can inform a research agenda for researchers looking to conduct actionable science in the Great Plains grassland ecosystems. Both the approach and the questions presented here can also be adapted and applied in other regions and ecosystems.

“…In northern tallgrass prairies, moisture availability often determines composition and invasive species success, meaning future climate conditions could greatly influence the establishment and extent of invasive plants, one of the primary threats to biodiversity (Changnon et al, 2002; Dennhardt et al, 2021; Poland et al, 2021). Over the coming century, North American tallgrass prairie systems are expected to experience more heavy precipitation and flooding events (USGCRP, 2018).…”

“…Further, we expected that moisture deficits would reduce invasive abundance likely by enhancing the competitive dynamics of native species (Davis et al, 2000; Grant et al, 2020; Koerner et al, 2015). We also explore shifts in abundance of two key invasive grasses, P. pratensis and Bromus inermis , two of the most highly invasive, abundant, and, consequently, managed invasive species in northern tallgrass prairies (Gaskin et al, 2021; Grant et al, 2020; Poland et al, 2021). Our study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on how ECEs will impact communities in natural and managed ecosystems experiencing invasions.…”

Extreme precipitation promotes invasion in managed grasslands

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events like drought and flooding, which threaten to amplify other global change drivers such as species invasion. We investigate the effect of wet and dry extreme precipitation regimes on invasive species' abundances in Northern tallgrass prairies. Because soil moisture is a key determinant of prairie composition, theory and evidence suggest drought conditions will hinder invasion, whereas wetter conditions will enhance invasion. To test this hypothesis, we explored the effect of precipitation on invasive plant species abundance from 2010–2019 in 25 managed prairies using observations from 267 transects comprising 6675 plots throughout western Minnesota, USA. We estimated how increases in the number of extremely wet or dry months in a year altered overall invasive species abundance and the abundance of the highly invasive grasses Poa pratensis and Bromus inermis. We found that a greater occurrence of abnormally wet months increased invasive species abundance but found mixed evidence that abnormally dry conditions hindered invasion. Further, more moderately wet and dry months reduced native grass abundance. Together, these results suggest that more frequent extremely wet months may intensify invasive dominance and that dry months may not counterbalance these trends. Given the considerable uncertainty still surrounding the interactive effects of climate change and invasion on native plant communities, this research represents an important step towards quantifying the complex influence of precipitation extremes on invasion dynamics in managed ecosystems of critical conservation concern.This article is protected by copyright.
